Legal duties and rights
​
We understand that sometimes creatives and small business owners lose sight of their legal duties and rights because their focus is on creating original products and unique experiences. Individuals and companies can sometimes forget their legal obligations, such as policing their trademark registrations or negotiating a binding and favorable contract, thereby unintentionally failing to comply with certain laws or not acting in their best interest.
